Still Tennessee???

We stopped off in Nashville to see the Grande ole Opry. We didn't go in, actually the kids stayed in the car. It is not what I expected, the Opry house is surrounded by a mall!! So we took a few pictures by the door and headed to the end of Tennessee, see I told you it was LONG.

We stayed the night in a hotel. It was a biker Super 8. There is not much parking for a truck and trailer, so Charles decided to take up 2 parking spots for the trailer and just unhitch it for the night, no problem there. We went out to dinner, where Lauren losses her retainer. She tucked it under her shorts, then went to the bathroom. Moment of panic for everyone, including the couple who had stared at us the whole meal. Charles seems to think it was because we talked funny! haha

So the daughter stands up and says "my retainer is gone!" Its one of those clear retainers that looks like a mouth guard so we start looking in the napkins and on the floor, no luck, back track to the bathroom, nothing. Man I do not want to go through the Olive Garden's trash. I'm imagining myself killing this child of mine over a piece of plastic, that not only does she have 1 but 2 retainer boxes for! Then all of a sudden one of the waitress' comes to us with it in a wetnap! She was like a ortho angel! I am super gluing it in Lauren's mouth as soon as I get some glue!! After all that, we go to the hotel to bed, and when we wake up to get ready to leave, guess what is parked right in front of the trailer??

A motorcycle. Yup, what a nut, did they not see that there was no room? He had to park it sideways for goodness sake! So we go to the hotel clerk and let her know and she says that she will look for the person, then she walks out with us to check things out and she asks Charles this: So you unhitched the trailer from the truck? Charles says yes, and then immediately thinks (as she walks away), No the truck is there, its just invisible, HERE'S YOUR SIGN!!

Well the owner could never be found so my husband had to swing the whole trailer around to hitch it up!

I'm so done with Tennessee!!!
